Book excerpt: The 1911 Liverpool transport strike was more than an industrial dispute. It led to the second biggest city of the British empire being brought to a standstill as the strike committee ran the city of Liverpool. Such was the fear that the dispute might lead to revolution, the Government sent troops onto the streets of Liverpool. Events escalated out of control that Winston Churchill infamously sent two gunboats up the Mersey with the guns pointing at the city itself.Brian Benjamin's account unearths one of histories unknown stories of working class struggles and of how the transport strike was a pivotal moment in working rights. It also reveals the violence of 'Bloody Sunday,' when Police and troops charged a crowd that had congregated outside of St. George's Hall.'Send the gunboats up the Mersey,' also reveals the long forgotten near revolution of 1919. Scarcely months after the armistice of world war one, there were mutinies within the army, industrial unrest, demonstrations that led to troops and tanks onto the streets of Glasgow and Liverpool. At one point, eight years after two gunboats were sent up the Mersey so was another ship. This account brushes away and reveals the real mood of the nation still recovering from an awful war with uncertainty and high unemployment. Read also how the events of 1911, the great unrest, and the near revolution led to Nye Bevan's formation of the NHS and the welfare state. It also reveals of how our ancestors' battles from the early twentieth century led to the world that we currently live in today.If you liked Peterloo and wish to discover more unknown history and how it influences the world that we live in today, then this book is for you.Also included are articles previously published in these football times about Dixie Dean, football's first number nine, the quiet Champion, Liverpool's Joe Fagan, and how Scotland are the Godfather of Tika-taka. So, you like history and politics, you are in for a treat.

Download or read book Big Gun Monitors written by Ian Buxton and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2008-03-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the history of naval warfare probably no type of ship has provided more firepower per ton than the monitor indeed they were little more than a huge gun mounting fitted on a simple, self-propelled raft. Designed and built rapidly to fulfil an urgent need for heavy shore-bombardment during World War I, they were top secret in conception, and largely forgotten when the short-lived requirement was over. Nevertheless, they were important ships, which played a significant role in many Great War campaigns and drove many of the advances in long-range gunnery later applied to the battle fleet. Indeed, their value was rediscovered during the Second World War when a final class was built. Monitors were largely ignored by naval historians until Ian Buxton produced the first edition of this book in 1978. Although published privately, this became an established classic and copies of the first edition are now almost unobtainable, so this new edition will be welcomed by many. It has been completely revised, extended and redesigned to a generous large format which allows material deleted from the original edition for lack of space to be restored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military is supposed to stand aside from British society. This book illustrates that from the earliest times the British have relied on the military for the preservation of law and order. The creation of the professional police force in Britain habitually met with the stiffest opposition, and even after it came into existence in the 19th century, the military were still called in to suppress civilian disorders, often admidst the confusion and clumsiness tht led to incidents such as the notorious ‘Peterloo massacre’. In the 20th century, the unarmed police had to become more used to dealing with riots, several of which are here discussed in meticulously researched detail.
